I note that only one of the 13 loans open for funding, and none of the 4 awaiting activation have interest rates <13%. However half of those in the pipeline are at 12%. Given poor communication on late loans, somewhat unreliable SM for exit, the interest rates are sliding towards the negative side of the FS balance (other probable good points are deal flow (sustainable?), and relatively quick deposits and withdrawals), given that 13% here roughly equates to 12% on say SS/MT with monthly payments. This on rising inflation... Are we looking at different platforms? I see 5 pipeline loans on FS, 4 of which are 13%, one is 12%, and that has a very low LTV, similarly, on SS, that loan would likely pay 9% at best.

You are right - must get my eyes checked/need a bigger screen - was convinced when I looked this morning that several were 12%. ISTM that in recent months some loans that appeared in the pipeline as 12% loans turned out to be 13% loans when they actually went live. I don't know why that might have happened, unless there's a default 12% entry in the form that FS complete in order to add a pipeline loan to the website. Anyway, as a result of this, I don't pay any attention to the interest rate for pipeline loans until I see a 'new loan coming' announcement, or see a 'Planned opening' date/time on the pipeline list.
